“Even if it hurts” by Julia Roberts

Submitted to Contest #36

June 7thHe kissed me…I know I should be writing about how magical and romantic and amazing it was. That’s all my friends can talk about when they discuss their first time. But I just, can’t. I’m struggling to find the words to explain how I feel. I’ve thought about the moment over and over in my mind. The setting, a cool summer evening in the local park, at a bench, just the two of us. The lighting, just one, lone lamp and the waning moon brightening the night sky as we rested from our walk. The sound, just the creaking symphony of cric...

The face of the wall blurred briefly, and with a greenish glow began repairing itself back to its normal, cement-looking state. They’re getting closer, I thought to myself, breathing heavily while I shrunk deeper into the shadows of the alley. I’m running out of places to hide. If it wa...

“Fresh Start” by Julia Roberts

Submitted to Contest #35

The alarm sound blared in her mind. Time: 7:05am. Date: March 19th, 2020. This is it. Sherry thought to herself. Today is the day I finally do it. She hopped out of bed, feet landing firmly on the hardwood flooring as she strode across to the dresser and began preparing for the morning’s activities. A scene she had so often imagined rolled through her mind once again, the movements, the approach, the agonizingly perfected dialogue.

“Keeping the Light in the Dark (Dog) Days” by Julia Roberts

Submitted to Contest #34

What an unusual time this has been. At first, I thought it might be a dream, for it surely had been very pleasant. Even more pleasant was it to find that it was now my daily reality! For some days now, the Tall Ones had been remaining within the bounds of our territory, disappearing only once or twice to visit with the unseen Food Givers, but never for more than a few moments of sunshine. Normally, the two Tall Ones leave our territory in the early parts of the day, the Wise One first, after making food for the Tall Ones and their ...
